So, this thread is hard to write...lol. I'm "toying" with the "possibility"....of releasing my Envoy.
The catch is, the front end needs repaired as it was involved in an incident with our newest driver.
I have the time and means to repair it, my only real issue is the frame rail near the RR wheel opening will need attention before too long. I had a shop look at it and he was confident he could clean it up and get a piece welded so it would go the distance, but it's not trashed, just a few weak spots.
So here's the good.
I bought this brand new, then had hopes it would get both my kids through their first few years of driving.
It has tons of good parts, and if you want to keep one going, this would be a perfect parts vehicle.
Starting in the rear, It has the 4:10 ratio with the TB SS rear. The rear has both new GM axles, and bearings, new tire hoist, new parking brake cables, brake hoses, calipers, shocks, and OE springs.
The following front parts have less than 20K miles, a new driveshaft, front diff seals replaced, CV shafts, hub and bearings, splined dosconnect, OE brake hoses, OE springs, all 4 Bilstein HD shocks, SS front iron calipers, rotors, pads, trans cooler lines, dorman trans pan with drain plug.
Sunroof seal and lift mechanism replaced by sunroof doctor parts.
4 Michelin Defender LTX tires from Costco with roughly 20K miles I believe.
Less than 2 years old, new PS rack, lines, pump, cooler was replaced about 5 years ago.
New water pump.
The bad is the motor has 330K miles but runs good. Has all new lash adjusters replaced about 30K miles ago.
Fuel tank around the pump tabs leaks a bit and will likely need a tank.
Trans still works great, I have changed the fluid every 30-40K miles. Seperator plate replaced at 160K with vette servo added and TCC PWM mod done.
I did all this work so I had a turn key driver I could take anywhere at a moments notice. My plan was to replace the gas tank and keep moving on....then it met the rear of another vehicle.
Needs core support, radiator, condenser, bumper cover, headlighta...pretty much everything from the radiator forward.
For parts, it has alot of value, but hard to find the right buyer.
My feeler is I'm looking for a used ATV, preferably 4x4, clean, reliable, 300-400cc preferred, but that's flexible.
Was looking for a possible trade or trade +cash.
I also have the OE door seals front and rear, with OE front seat foams.
This sucks...lol.
Anyway, open for thoughts, offers, entertainment....anything. never had to do this so going slowly.
